I need some advice as seriously considering giving up, I have been doing SW 6 weeks now, have not gone off plan once and in this time have lost 3.5lb
Up until 2 weeks ago had lost 5lb which I was happy with, then joined a gym and really threw myself into that aswell and first week gained .5lb which I was advised could be water retention, which I think I am prone to, but then at yesterday's WI I had gained a further 1lb. The only other thing I had changed was trying red and green days (mainly green) no EE, as my sister is/was doing SW with me and lost a lot more successfully on red and green so I also decided to give that a try.
The only other thing that had changed this week was attending a different group and therefore using different scales however I assume they should all be calibrated to avoid this sort of thing happening? And my sister lost 1lb...
I could not bring myself to stay for Image Therapy as I knew I would cry if I did when my turn came to speak and I could not stop crying all night when I got home and have just been feeling so sad all day whereas before this felt really happy and positive, I just don't feel there's any point in attending WI anymore if it is making me so unhappy.
I am quite happy to carry on the diet a little bit longer just by myself and buy some scales and just do it myself. Alternatively I have been considering what other diets I could try but SW appeals to me because I know it is balanced and healthy - sadly it just doesn't seem to work for me.
I have been keeping food diaries although I stopped this week, my C said my previous ones were fine - but I have been keeping track of every single syn, even chewing gum and previously I was eating 5 syns per day but it was suggested that was too low so in the last couple of weeks I have upped them to on average 9.
Other changes I've tried to make are thinking about my portion sizes, drinking loads of water/free squash and only eat when I'm hungry. I measure my hex and just snack on fruit or alpen light bars.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
